With the upcoming Linux-2.6 Kernel you will be able to burn with full speed because the 2.6-Kernel can talk to the burner in DMA mode. Current 2.4 Kernel isn't capable of doing this. Personaly i have my burner plugged into a Firewire-Enclosure, a good one talks with DMA to the burner. I have a 4x DVD-Burner (equals roughly 28/29x CD-Speed) and had never problems with burning. I never use burnfree. Bis denn -- Real Programmers consider "what you see is what you get" to be just as bad a concept in Text Editors as it is in women.
